My brother was playing in the UE string and he was one the mission where u had to pick up the vionian from the shuttle and take him back to where ever he had to go .. i think this was how you get the pareen station , but anyways he destroyed the fleet and he says that the ship was gone .. (he said he saw it jump away but it might have been another shuttle) anyway he failed the mission and i told him to go to earth and get it agian .. but it never showed so i said wait a while and he did but he still hasnt got it and he wanted me to ask is there a bug or is he doing sumthing wrong?

Yes, that piece of work leads to the setting up of a Voinian research base at Pareen Station, and then you can buy some of their weapons.

If I suspect I've messed up a mission, I would generally self-destruct, rather than landing again. It's probably quicker in the long run. (Not a good idea if you are on strict play, of course.)

To check if a mission has been failed (you might miss the message in the heat of battle), see if the mission text has disappeared from your list of current missions. Press 'I', I think...

Somebody else will have to tell you if this mission reappears or not. Personally, I think it will, but I wouldn't like to guarantee.

Like what ambassador said. Don't land if you fail. Just exit out and reopen your pilot file. That should let you start over in trying to get the guy off the shuttle. Just keep reopening your file until you can get the guy and land safely. Then, you go the mission. Very simple.
